The easier way to do any kind of pregaming lab stuff is to set up a VM with Ubuntu server or any other distro with ssh and then running visual studio code on your computer and connecting to the VM through ssh. With Python I suggest using poetry for environment management and then you can also run Jupyter notebooks in visual studio code and you don’t need to bother with the actual web interface.

I have users sitting half way across the world giving me a hard time when things change. It’s almost easier to fly over to the company and hand hold them through a change.
